There are three big ones. Vitamins, Training Weights, and Pokerus. Vitamins give 10 EVs to their respective stat, but cannot boost a stat over 100 EVs. I always start with a fresh Pokemon (although, my estimate for EV building did not include move\/nature breeding, but there are shortcuts there too), then for any 252\/252\/4 build, put 10 vitamins into the two stats and about half the work is done"}
